Re: Run on recycled cooking oil!

[Sam Kass <samkass@domain.elided>]

My brother bought an old Mercedes diesel on eBay and modified it to run 
on used cooking oil and grease.  He works at a college and they give him 
the used french fry grease-- he basically drives for free and buys no 
gasoline.  His setup has one tank for filtered biodiesel and a second 
for the raw grease.  The engine starts on the first tank, and powers a 
heater to melt the crud in the 2nd tank.  Once the 2nd tank is liquid, 
it switches over.  He says it gets good mileage and technically good 
emissions, but smells a bit like french fries while operating.
